Import Broker Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane: What to Look For
Choosing a Japanese vehicle import broker — what matters for buyers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart.
Summary
A good import broker confirms vehicle eligibility for Australia before you commit, manages all compliance and certification, and coordinates delivery to your location. Look for a broker that services your city (e.g. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart) and ideally has team on the ground in Japan to inspect and purchase from auction on your behalf.
Eligibility and Compliance First
The most important thing a broker does is ensure the vehicle can be imported to Australia and manage all compliance and certification. Without that, you risk buying a car, van or truck that cannot be registered here. A reputable broker will check eligibility before you commit and handle RAWS and other certification steps. We do this for every car, van and truck import and service Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart.
Team on the Ground in Japan
Many brokers work only remotely with Japanese suppliers or auction buyers. A significant advantage is a broker with staff in Japan who can inspect vehicles and purchase from auction on your behalf. That gives you better control over condition and price and reduces the risk of buying unseen. We have team members on the ground in Japan for exactly this reason.
Bulk and Single Imports
If you are a dealership or need multiple vehicles, check that the broker can handle bulk imports: shopping lists, eligibility and quantity confirmation, and consistent process. We support both single-vehicle and bulk imports with the same team-in-Japan and compliance approach.
